Hi there! I'm in Madison and am pretty active on the subreddit. I'm making my way over here slowly but surely. I am in grad school for urban planning. I enjoy talking and debating politics and philosophy, and am active on the Social Democracy subreddit.

For users under 18, the platform would have to set privacy restrictions to the most private level available. And the bill would ban certain “addictive” features from being used in a minor’s social media feed. That includes “infinite scrolling; a profile-based feed; push notifications; autoplay video,” the bill says.

Can we get features designed to be addictive banned, generally? Regular users need to be gained by having a good quality product, not by exploiting brain chemistry.

I’ve definitely looked at this, but never realized I there was a .ics option! Thank you very much; that’s super helpful!

What an encouraging story. I wish I could read about unionization going well more often. Thank you for sharing.

Considering the fact that Madison just had to pass a budget referendum to avoid making cuts to services, this seems like a good way to fill that gap. It may also incentivize bus and bike travel, which would be beneficial to Metro and traffic patterns.

Unfortunately, budgets exist. The current govenment structure makes that unavoidable, and changing that fact is not easy or immediate.

I don’t like any of these.

No doubt. It's one more for the pile of incredibly consequential elections. After that, I think we may have some reprieve until Tony is up again.
